Now, I don't do any gaming, don't have a blu ray or PS3 and have no
intention of paying for HD channels etc.

Just out of curiosity, do you have to pay for all HD? I have cable TV,
and I get ~30 or 40 HD channels with a standard subscription. There
are a few "deluxe" HD channels, but I can't be bothered with them.

FWIW, I know you already bought your TV, but I've had a Samsung DLP
50" for ~5 years now, and it's still great. I guess DLP has gone out
of fashion, but I love mine.

dunno what dlp even is :-)

as for the hd stuff, i think if i want any sky hd stuff, yes its an
extra tenner a month! plus a new box and £60 for an "engineer" to come
and plug it in!

This telly has a freeview HD tuner built in and apparantly with freesat
HD, so ill get that sorted first and go from there I think.
